0.000 HBDBeekeeping - Mowing the Field While Suited Up!!
I don't take chances anymore! There was that one incident that caused me to look at the beekeeping in a whole new light (see video below). This photo was snapped in a hurry while I was on the tractor shredding (mowing) the field. Normally, in the past, I wouldn't have thought for 2 seconds that running the tractor back there was a risk, but now I wouldn't dream of taking the big orange beast around the beehives without a suit. For the most part my bees are gentle. No problems, but you just never know when things can turn bad. Maybe they are just irritated, or perhaps one hive lost a queen and they've been working on making a new one. That new queen can be mated with local drones (male bees) that have some very aggressive genetics. The "Africanized" or "Killer Bees" have been in South Texas for a long time now. It is a risk for sure. <center><h2>My Bee Selfie While Mowing</h2></center>  This video was recorded one day after an attack. I just had to document how I was feeling after that event. <center><h2>When 1000s of Bees Decide to Hate you all at Once!</h2></center> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_V9vRygdEY <hr> <center><h2>My 5 Most Recent Posts</h2> *for your upvoting pleasure* </center> <hr> | Image | Title Link | | ------------- | ------------- | | [](https://steemit.com/youtube/@daddykirbs/my-bride-finally-put-a-bee-suit-on-this-may-be-a-one-time-thing) | [My Bride Finally Put a Bee Suit On! - This may be a one time thing...](https://steemit.com/youtube/@daddykirbs/my-bride-finally-put-a-bee-suit-on-this-may-be-a-one-time-thing) | | [](https://steemit.com/nature/@daddykirbs/paper-wasp-up-close-photo-and-video-38-second-video) | [Paper Wasp - Up Close Photo and Video [ 🎥 38 second video!]](https://steemit.com/nature/@daddykirbs/paper-wasp-up-close-photo-and-video-38-second-video) | | [](https://steemit.com/youtube/@daddykirbs/first-honey-harvest-this-year-using-the-spinning-honey-extractor) | [First Honey Harvest This Year! - Using the Spinning Honey Extractor](https://steemit.com/youtube/@daddykirbs/first-honey-harvest-this-year-using-the-spinning-honey-extractor) | | [](https://steemit.com/youtube/@daddykirbs/this-sneaked-right-past-me-today-many-years-on-youtube-paying-off) | [This sneaked right past me today! - Many years on YouTube paying off?](https://steemit.com/youtube/@daddykirbs/this-sneaked-right-past-me-today-many-years-on-youtube-paying-off) | | [](https://steemit.com/nature/@daddykirbs/head-massage-39-second-video) | [Head Massage!
